Russia continued its strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria using long-range strategic bombers on Sunday.
Six Russian Air Force Tu-22M3 long-range bombers carried out concentrated strikes with high-explosive fragmentation munitions in the south-west, east, and north-east of Deir ez-Zor, a city in the eastern part of Syria.
The bombers, which took off from Russian territory, destroyed two command and control centers, six large storage with ammunition and armament, two tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles, seven off-roaders with large-caliber weaponry.
The Su-30SM and Su-35S fighters from the Hmeymim airbase in Syria provided air cover to the bombers throughout the mission.
